"So after nearly three years of negotiations, it’s been very clear that the stakes are very high for this global agreement. The reason being is that, plastics are really made out of fossil fuels, oil and gas. So oil and gas exporting countries have a very large stake. And so you’ve got many countries, mainly in the Gulf states, for example, that are exporting fossil fuels, who have a very large stake. And this is really slowed down the process."

"So when the first suggestion of how you can participate or register for the meeting emerged, we saw an immediate problem because it became very exclusive. And they said as many governments can register as they wish, but there will be no NGO participants, unless they were invited."

"In my 20 years of doing negotiations, you may have technical expert group where you limit the number of experts you bring into the group, but you’ve never really removed observers or civil society or public interest groups."
